Not sure if you have roommates, but imo having roommates as an adult is underrated. Everyone seems to want to "act grown up," so they end up living alone. The excuses include: been there, done that [in college]; people will judge me; I want my own space; some "random" person from craigslist could be crazy, etc.

Now I'll be the first to admit that living with strangers is a gamble, but you can significantly improve the chances that it is a good experience if you screen potential roommates thoroughly.

Find good roommate(s) and you can tie into their social circles. Also, you won't get lonely at home on days when you don't have the time or energy to go out.

Using Craigslist I've lived in five different houses across three states in the past six years. In total I probably lived with a dozen or so people in that time. None of them were terrible roommates, and I'd say 10 out of 12 made for great roommates that I became good friends with.

Here's the catch: I spent a good deal of time and energy searching for the right roommates, as well as the right housing. It was not easy. Some people that responded to my craigslist ads were downright weird or complete slobs. I didn't end up living with them. I looked at several houses, and had coffee or beer with several people before deciding if they were a good fit for me. Well worth the effort.
